IBM® xSeries 360: User’s Reference
If you want to use the serial port connection, continue with “Cabling the serial
(COM) port”; otherwise, go to “Configuring the adapter”.
Cabling the serial (COM) port: To cable the serial (COM) port, connect a modem or
null modem cable to the serial port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter.
Continue with “Configuring the adapter”.
Configuring the adapter
This section describes the following:
• Enabling remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter
• Installing ASM device drivers
These procedures assume that you have an operational keyboard and pointing device
attached to the server.
Enabling remote access to the adapter: The Remote Supervisor Adapter requires
configuration to enable remote access through either the Ethernet port or the serial
port. From Table 3, choose the interface method that you want to use to perform
remote management; then, perform the indicated configuration procedure.
Note: For detailed information about using the ASM Web interface and the text-
based user interface, see the
Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the
xSeries 360 Documentation CD.
Configuring the Ethernet settings for Web-based remote access: If you have an
accessible, active, and configured dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server
on the network, the hostname, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, and DNS
server IP address are set automatically. You do not need to perform further
configuration tasks to enable the Ethernet connection because the default value for
the DHCP Setting field is Enabled. If you need to configure the serial port, go to
“Configuring the serial port for text-based remote access” on page 32; otherwise, go
to “Configuring the remote control password” on page 37.
If you do not have a DHCP server on the network, complete the following steps to
configure the Ethernet settings.
1. With the server turned off, insert the diskette with the downloaded utility program
into the diskette drive; then, turn on the server.
